Thank you kind sir :)

Believe it or not. I dunno why, but GPS never worked for me on stock. After putting in VR, it worked. And since this is my first android, and my 1st phone with GPS, I was amazed with the accuracy of GPS, and I told myself to never move from VillainROM. Great work Pulser :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Noonski:
But yes new Thread new Selling Sentence.

Villain Rom X.X.X The Rom that sucked the life out of Pulser*

*updating all VRTweaks packages each time
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Bl@ck:
Love you pulser.

Also i'm getting 2 days on "normal" use, like 10-12hrs on wifi with random chatting on gtalk/huddle, 2-3 hrs of mp3s (depending on work loads :p ), some 3G browsing/twitting in the morning before work or during the evening, the only thing that i did was remove all the samsung hubs and freeze Google Maps because it was draining a lot lately, this on VillainROM 2.3 with latest cf-root kernel and radio.

If your looking to drain your Battery, try this out..

Phone_Util.apk, already added side note to this one thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LuffyPSP:
maps draining could be the cause of the latitude. try signing out. really sign out instead of just setting it to manually. did the trick for me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] teo91:
I do not understand it in cwm does not see the zip? I can not access my card?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] hktony:
VR 2.4.2 i found the browser become so laggy for me , is this my own problem ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Have you tried placing the zip on the Internal SD?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Noonski:
Yes Browser is laggy it is documented in first post of this small 5 page thread.

The browser sucks anyway.*

Has anyone been playing with replacing the stock browser with a HTC or AOSP one?

*There's people complaining about HTC browser but Sammies browser is worse.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LuffyPSP:
it is meant to be like that. this is a deodexed rom so the stock browser will lag. for workaround as of now either download other browser(many recommended Opera but i didnt use it) or live with it for now.

EDIT : lost a few seconds to Nooski~~
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mach0boi:
Gtalk with video working? :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] runedrune:
I use Opera, Dolphin, Firefox and Maxthon xD
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dorilife:
Working fine here on VR 2.4.2
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] zainzakwan:
Thanks for the quick respond :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] t0ph0id:
Strangely it wouldn't download in Opera Mobile for me either, nor would the fonts download link.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] andr01d3:
Have anyone tried to apply JKay Deluxe v10.1 ?? it works with VillainROM 2.5?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
Yes, It works.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Works here in opera mobile for vr2.5 file
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
No you flash those after the rom to remove the fonts and replace them
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] andr01d3:
F**k!!! I flashed XWKI4_JKay_GreenCircle_Deluxe_ThemeV10_1_deodexed.zip and has a lot of FCs!!

Making the system completely useless :(

Need to flash and wipe VillainROM again to solve the issue :''''(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
Why you need to wipe? Just flash villain rom again, boot and then that jkay theme.

I have 0 problems.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jameslfc5:
New version of swype anyone?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
What do you mean? It is part of the ROM...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mbwatson:
I also installed this from I JKay with no issues whatsoever and it is working flawlessly.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] elicit:
Love the rom. Just wondering if anyone has experience is replacing TWlauncher with some other launcher with success before flashing the rom. What apk related to TWlauncher can/should be removed?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
works like a charm buddy..voice skipping on music player works to

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:14 PM ----------

no need to remove it. Just download from the market GO Launcher and use that as your permanent one. Works brilliantly for me:D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mbwatson:
I have used both Launcher Pro and Go Launcher, which I continue to use (and it's free). Much better than TWLauncher, in my opinion.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] elicit:
What i meant was to get a replacement launcher.apk and put it in the zip before flashing the rom as well as removing TWlauncher so that it doesn't get installed in the first place.

Does it work?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
services.jar

the attached services.jar from zeuBugTheme (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1212157) has support for BLN using stock MMS application.

consider to use in next version.

thx
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah that's fine
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Something like this is available in VRTweaks for some time now :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sullan:
does VRtweaks 2.4.2 works on Villain 2.5 ? or we will wait some time more ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Run the app, any showing tweaks work on 2.5 :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] svenk:
Hi!

Any update on this?

However much I want to thank Pulser for this new version and his work, I would not upgrade to a ROM that silently removes features while still calling itself "more perfect" :(

But I am still confident ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] elicit:
Is there a special method to install apk in the system/app folder? I tried placing adw launcher apk in it but it doesnt seem to install when flashing the rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] borgmanjayce:
I just installed VillainROM 2.5 and I had to install it from the external SD card instead of the internal SD card using ClockworkMod via the Up+Power+Start option as it couldn't detect the VillainROM zip file when I tried to install it via the "install from Zip file" option.

I thought it had installed at first when it said that the installation was successful and I left it to run for more than 10 minutes after installation.

Now I have a problem in that the phone is stuck at the "VillainROM - Free Your Android" screen.

I don't know why this has happened even though the phone was already rooted and I'd followed the instructions including wiping the cache and wiping the internal memory as well.

I'm all new to this and I wanted to install it so it could fix my problem with the battery draining constantly as well as the 3G signal not being available any more.

If anybody can help me out, I'd be very grateful.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jhernand1102:
Can you provide some more information. What is your phone model? What ROM/Kernel were you running prior to flashing this ROM. Can you still access Download/Recovery mode?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] runedrune:
Boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache. Then try again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
agreed..wipe everything, data then cache and dalvik cache flash the rom and you should be good to go once you switch the phone off and boot it up to get back into recovery..you should be fine after that:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] angel of other:
hi all

I've loaded VR2.5 without issue but when I come to install the modified services.jar my phone hangs post bootscreen

has anyone else encountered it?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
What modified services.jar?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] borgmanjayce:
The phone model is a Galaxy S II from Vodafone UK, The Build Model and Kernel Number (which I posted on another forum as I was having problems with the 3G not being available any more and Flight Mode not being able to be switched off) is GINGERBREAD.BUKE1 and the Kernel version is 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKDD-CL161513 root@DELL103 #2. I installed a replacement kernel from here which didn't fix the problem with the 3G but fixed the problem with the Flight Mode.

I can still access ClockworkMod Recovery using the method mentioned before.

Fortunately, I made a couple of backups using the Backup option in CWM Recovery of the Internal memory and a backup of my Apps using Titanium Backup Pro. (Right now, it seems to be stuck at the Galaxy S II screen with the yellow warning triangle even though I made a backup properly and I've gone back to CWM Recovery).

I wiped the cache then the internal memory. I didn't know you needed to wipe the Dalvik cache as well so I'll try that.

I'm truly grateful for all the help received so far as I'm truly puzzled as to why I couldn't find the VillainROM zip file on the internal SD card.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
I sent something for testing today but it didn't work :( Monday we will look more.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] borgmanjayce:
I have another question to ask (Why is it that Android has to make things confusing concerning the internal SD card, the external SD card which is the micro SD card and internal memory):

Is the zip that I have to install the one called "VillainROM-2.5.0-signed.zip" or is it a different zip file?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kalpik:
Umm, okay, something seems to be wrong! As soon as I flash VR zip and reboot, the phone just gets stuck at the very first yellow triangle screen! Can't even enter recovery mode! Have to use Odin. Tried 2 times, wiping data and everything, it just gets stuck :/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
That's correct file.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
i know this might sound stupid but try taking the battery out, put the battery back in and then try and get into recovery and do wipe and start all over again. if that does not help, remove the battery again and then try getting into download mode and try flashing litening pro through odin and then reflash VR...i know im not a tech but thats what i would do if my phone got stuck..hope it works out ok for you bud:)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] borgmanjayce:
That's the one that I'm definitely having to use from the external SD card (which I made a backup of as the data seems to have vanished from it, but not the internal one fortunately). I'm still puzzled as to why the installation didn't work properly and the backup didn't work when restoring it (I'm going to try the other one later)...

---------- Post added at 05:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:16 PM ----------

What's Litening Pro if I may ask?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] :
Rom that you can flash through odin. when i did not know how to root my phone someone suggested use odin and flash litening pro and that my handset would be rooted.. then once i got to learn more about rooting and flashing was more comfortable using cwm..

you can find litening pro in the android development...

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

anyway i have a question please if someone could help me. i dont get any notifications through my drop down menu..what i mean is if i got a message on facebook or say a xda even app normally my phone would vibrate to let me know that i have a message. but recently thats not the case and i have to go to the actual application to see if anyone has messaged me or not...anyone knows how to solve it please? its the same with whatsapp messenger..i normally need to go to the app to see whos message me rather than the message coming as notification in the drop down menu
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] angel of other:
the one for BLN on the native mms apk; I tried this one

with no luck & then the one in VRtweaks also with no luck (thank god for CWM backups)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kalpik:
Ok, was just a corrupted download.. Nothing to see here folks, move along! >_>
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
The one in VRTweaks works fine here. I suggest you try a reflash and then installing it... Perhaps the other one caused issues?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jhernand1102:
Well if you put the ROM file on your internal SD and then you wiped your Internal SD using CWM recovery that is why you could not find the ROM file. It may also be why you are stuck at the boot screen. You may have to flash the original firmware using Odin and start over again.

Still unsafe to install CRT animation while using advance power mod?

Since I failed installing JKay mod, is it possible to add the battery percentage mod?

How can I uninstall the CRT effect after having it installed?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jhernand1102:
Reflash the ROM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mljjlm:
If you have the Advancen Power Mod installed, and then installs the CRT-effect, you will end up with at soft reboot everytime you long-press the powerbutton ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] richiewill83:
From memory, i think there is a folder created called VRTweaks. In here will be a file named

(name of tweak) .bak

Copy this file to your system folder and rename it without .bak
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] angel of other:
not sure but I'll end up reflashing over 2.5 later this eveing
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] richiewill83:
Just checked and the vrtweaks folder is on sdcard, then in here will be backup folder, copy the files you want and then paste into system/app and rename without the .bak
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mrgrey1701:
Firstly, many thanks for the ROM Pulser. Unfortunately I am experiencing a problem: like a few people have already reported, unless I change the regulatory domain to 14 channels in WIFI settings, I experience a loss of wireless connection. However, even after changing the setting and saving the setting, once I reboot the phone it returns to the default 13 channels. Any idea what`s going on? I never experienced it in the previous VR rom. Incidentally, I am on the 2.0.5 ninphetamine kernel. Thanks in advance for any help
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jameslfc5:
I mean does anyone have the flashable zip?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] A$h x:
On VR 2.4.2, I get an issue where plugging connecting via USB and selecting "USB storage" mode does NOT mount the internal or external SD card. If I go into recovery and mount the SD from there, it works immediately. I've also tried other roms and it also works from there.

All that happens is that I get a message that windows is installing the Samsung MFP drivers (which is completed successfully) and then nothing is mounted. :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
It's a common issue on most ROM's but very sporadic you just need to untick and tick USB debugging in the development menu then you'll be fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jameslfc5:
Now that everyone has had chance to test, what BASEBAND and KERNEL do you suggest?

Cheers,

ps, what are you using pulser?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Auridran:
KI1 and SpeedMod are working great for myself.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arkadius41:
Hi, is DSP manager working on 2.5 ? Am new to this rom so next question, VRTweaks can be flashed to this version ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes install vrtweaks and you can see what's there
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Ninphetamine 2.0.5 and KI1 modem
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
No. As it is part of the rom already, I doubt anyone has it separate. It's also not really a good idea to distribute swype standalone, as it is commercial, paid software...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arkadius41:
Thx, ill try. And DSP ? Have you modded bt bitpool maybe ? :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Dunno, I've not uploaded those ones yet. Might do it tomorrow :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jameslfc5:
I didn't know that sorry, I thought because we already have swype pre-installed we would have the right to update for free :) never mind tho mate, I'm happy with this ROM cheers, so I will see how the battery goes tomorrow :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] arkadius41:
If you really do... ill be your servant forever ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
For anyone that managed to get JKays mods to work can you explain how?

I tried installing the HTC green circle mod but then after rebooting everything fc'd. Unfortunately I mistook my backup for one post 2.5 so ended up on 2.4.2 again and had to re-install everything DOH!

I've never used JKay's mods so thought I'd give them a go and see what the fuss is about so wouldn't mind finding out how those who got it working did it.

Thanks

I know about those which are fine, it's the JKay V10 mods that I was referring to but thanks anyway.

I downloaded a different theme and got it working but lost my notification bar this time but with no errors so have restored my backup and just gonna forget it as not that bothered anyway as waiting for Vertumus's new Special Edition theme to be released in the next few days.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
Currently testing abyss kernel 1.5 with smartass v2, 150mhz min frequency and undervolting will be an interesting combo. Will report back once fully charged and after some usage.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BoogWeed:
Also, what modem is recommended for this ROM?

Currently still on KG6 (which works pretty sweet for me), I never bothered with the KH's, but I hear there is KI1 out...?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
KH3 was very good but I find KI1 better for wifi and data. Too early to tell battery life as I've been hammering my phone.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ole12:
Whats the main difference when changing modems and kernels?

Im using XKH3 with ninph 2.1.3, dont think i have any problems.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jameslfc5:
Would this for any reason, stop me from receiving texts? :s I seemed to of stopped receiving texts :/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BoogWeed:
Thanks. Do you have a download link for KI1 modem? The VR Modem list thread doesn't seem to be updated..

The only download I can find is on the 'Samsung Epic 4G' thread, which I am not sure is the right one.

Nope. You sure it's not your network? When I flashed VR 2.5, my carrier's 3G network stopped working for half the day at exactly the same time.

I've done an 'Android look' percent battery mod (see attached pic) if anyone fancies it, no other icons have been changed. Flash with CWM.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
Damm it this phone is too good that's not interesting.

All the kernels are working fine, ROMs are stable and have a solid battery usage, its very fast and responsive....

The only "bad" thing are the ugly colour transitions.

Would like to request for the following in VRTweaks:

1) No increasing ring only (i.e. without the disabling noise suppression function)

2) The camera hack, to use on low battery

Thanks in advance.

For those who uses stock calendar, download this and flash via CWM (freeze or remove the TW version in TB). File is courtesy of paulobrien, I only "made" it flashable via CWM.

I'd like to thank everybody who gave me advice concerning my problem.

Somehow, I managed to get VillainROM installed in the end and even though I had to reinstall my Apps that I'd backed up via Titanium Backup PRO individually instead of installing via the Batch command as it wasn't working properly as well as download the updated version, all the data in the internal SD card (the 12GB one) and the external SD card seemed to be safe although for some weird reason I seemed to have lost a lot more space than expected in the internal SD card.

I'm still having problems trying to access 3G because I keep getting the "Insert SIM card - Insert SIM card to access network services" message even though I cleaned the contacts on the SIM card itself. VillainROM has fixed the problem with Flight Mode that I was having which is a good thing.
